Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is *NOT* a good way to relieve constipation during pregnancy?

Answer: Lots of castor oil

Castor oil can prevent your body from absorbing needed nutrients and should not be used as a remedy for constipation during pregnancy. Laxatives should also be avoided unless your provider advises you to use them. Increasing your fiber intake is also a good idea, provide you also drink plenty of fluids; otherwise, it can have the opposite effect.
2. What should you *NOT* do to relieve back pain during pregnancy?

Answer: Take plenty of aspirin

You should not take aspirin while pregnant. All of these other things may help to relieve back pain. A warm bath may be soothing, but don't get in the hot tub-temperatures above 102 degrees Fahrenheit may hurt your baby.
3. Due to bleeding gum problems, you should brush your teeth less frequently during pregnancy.

Answer: False

Brush regularly, but use a soft brush and brush gently. Also floss regularly and use a mouthwash to kill germs and help prevent gum disease.
4. In which trimester are the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy usually least prevalent?

Answer: Second Trimester

In the second trimester, for many women, many of the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy vanish. They tend to return in the third trimester, however.
5. To alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy, what should you do?

Answer: All of these

The pain usually disappears after you give birth.
6. Cravings for unusual, non-food substances during pregnancy is called:

Answer: Pica

Pica most often occurs in cases where the pregnant woman is deficient in iron, despite the fact that the items craved are not good iron sources. Women with pica crave things like road salt and ice.
7. An increased need to urinate can be evident from very early in the pregnancy.

Answer: True

In late pregnancy, the pressure from the nearly full size baby will create pressure on the bladder, but even from the early stages of pregnancy extra fluids are created by the pregnant woman's body. Some women experience an increase in frequency from as early as six weeks. Once the fluids have been created, they need to be excreted too.
8. Which of the following things is least likely to cause heartburn?

Answer: Water

If drinking orange juice, try the high pulp variety. The pulp will help to absorb some of the acidity.
9. You should not use moisturizers to relieve itching during pregnancy, as they may harm the baby.

Answer: False

Keeping moisturized is one of the best ways to relieve itching, and lotion won't harm the baby! If you have a prescription medication, however, check with your dermatologist to make sure the active ingredient won't be absorbed and cause harm. Other ways to relieve itching include oatmeal baths and wearing loose clothing.
10. You should increase your consumption of water during pregnancy.

Answer: True

You need to increase the amount of water you drink as this helps the body absorb nutrients and help the developing fetus.
11. If you are experiencing morning sickness, which of the following foods should you most likely avoid?

Answer: French Fries

You should avoid greasy foods, as they will likely intensify your nausea. Some women find that crackers, pretzels, and dry cereal help with nausea, though it is best to choose low sodium varieties.
12. If your multi-vitamin is causing you to feel nauseous, you should try eating it with a meal.

Answer: True

Prenatal vitamins are more likely to make you feel nauseous on an empty stomach. The reason some packages advise you to take the vitamin on an empty stomach is that it will enable you to absorb more of the vitamin; but if you are vomiting it up, you aren't absorbing much anyway!
13. Which of the following foods is *least* likely to cause gas and bloating?

Answer: Crackers

The other foods have a tendency to cause gas in many women. Instead of eating three large meals a day, try five smaller meals.
14. What kind of exercises may help to improve your bladder control during pregnancy?

Answer: Kegels

Kegel exercises involve contracting and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. They are used not only by pregnant women, but also by non-pregnant women with urinary stress incontinence.
15. Hemorrhoids, a common problem during pregnancy, are most closely linked with what other pregnancy symptom?

Answer: Constipation

Hemorrhoids can result from straining during bowel movements. To avoid constipation, drink more water and fruit juices, eat more fruits and other fiber rich foods, and get some light exercise each day.
